Physically, at least.
It's complicated because it's a half height case, and I have a half height video card that means one of the monitor cables goes out through the slot that the new SATA card needs, and there isn't a free bay for the SSD so cable ties are mounting it, and I needed a power splitter, and... You get the idea. It's all a bit Heath Robinson in there...
But it boots, and AOMEI is migrating the OS for me.
And in half an hour or so I get to find if it'll boot... 
Any one want to start betting?

Nope.
I'm up and running on SSD.
I was a little confused, because AOMEI swapped the drive letters for me, so I assumed I was still booting from the HDD C: drive - but VS 2013 loads in seconds! Yum!
That's one impressive migration tool - it just worked!

Running VS on SSD is really something - not only start time, but also compilation...

Never mind VS, I just tried a Corel product! 
Paintshop Pro X6 boots faster than it did before JASC sold it and they added the typical Corel bloat!

Reminds me of my case fan. Spent 20 minutes trying to use those silly rubber plugs that came with it. After not being able to get them to stretch enough to fully pop into place, my hands (and needle nose pliers) slipping off the things numerous times, and the handful of miniature cuts from my hand smacking into unfinished metal, I just used two cable ties...
Easier to install, and the same amount of vibration I would have gotten from the rubber plugs (zero.) Hooray cable ties!

MacGyver - The Golden Years
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

"Recommands"?
Gotta love comic strips with typos.

I did not know that. Where can one see the original?
I also haven't really noticed nearly as many typos as you're suggesting.

In most cases they fix typo after someone comments on it...
To see it in French replace en to fr in the link...

Are you sure it's originally made in French? 2 things make me question that:
a) Why would they keep using "AI", an English acronym, in the French version?
b) Why would they show a screenshot in English, which means you have to read English anyway to get the punch line.
[Edit]
OK...from the site's About Us:
"Our illustrator is self-confessed geek Etienne Issartial. Stories and texts are by Thomas Gx, and are translated into English by Mark Nightingale"
My questions still stand however.

Maybe they use AI as a technical term...I'm speaking Hebrew all day long, but some terms I use in it's English/technical form...AI is one of them...I would not say 'artificial intelligence' in Hebrew, but AI in English...
